I am concerned about Ebola

As a person who wants to represent you in Congress,I am concerned about the health crisis  posed by Ebola. In previous post, I mentioned that Ebola is unpredictable. That means that anything we think we know about Ebola  may  be changing.We must NOT overlook anything. We are not prepared to deal with a potentially deadly outbreak of this dreaded virus.  We do not have enough equipment,trained personnel or a clear plan to deal  with such a  health crisis, let alone enough isolation units. The protocol  to deal with this virus was not followed in Dallas, Texas. Now another nurse is infected. We must immediately have funds mandated to the various health organizations the Center For Disease Control, the National Institute of Health, and the World Health Organization  to get Ebola under control.  We must educate thousands of health care workers; we must have the best equipment  to protect our health care workers and other public employees who may incidentally come into contact with potentially infected individuals.  This could potentialy become a serious worldwide epidemic. We must pay attention.  Critical thinking at the early stages  is imperative; for  example. everyone s immune system is different, therefore..an individual could have symptoms of   this virus with  a varied temperature other than what the CDC guideline is.  Unpredictable is just that, unpredictable.  Nothing can be overlooked.  The health of the public is at risk.  We cannot be casual about this deadly virus..Ebola has spread to three continents outside of west
Africa; as the United Nations mentioned today, this problem must be  contained within sixty days or we risk 10,000 new cases a week.  It could actually be much worst. WE are taking action in west Africa; we must not overlook our own nation!
